First look at Karl Lagerfeld x Melissa

Feast your eyes on the first sketches of Karl Lagerfeld’s upcoming collaboration with Brazilian footwear label Melissa! The collection will consist of 4 models – 2 original designs by Karl and updating 2 existing ones. Inspired by Brazil’s joie de vivre, Karl added some fun elements like an ice cream cone heel and transparent spheres at the top of a ballerina, whilst learning about working with Melissa’s trademark plastic material.

The first of 4 capsule collections designed by Karl will land in stores in May. Melissa has previously collaborated with the likes of Jason Wu and Vivienne Westwood.
